Chapter 59 The Black Market (Seeking recommendation votes and monthly tickets)
It's not a fossil.
It was a living wild ant!
There are also videos to verify this, so it's basically true.
Most importantly, this news did not mention any lucky person who captured an ancient alien cub and made a fortune.
In other words...
It is still hidden somewhere in the desert of the desolate anthills!
A new path opens up before you do!
Although it is unknown how long this creature has been born, based on the twenty-seven power rings from three days ago, even if its strength has improved during that time, its strength should be between the mid-level and high-level of the elite rank. Coupled with its special body structure, its strength would be at least thirty tons after being increased twentyfold.
One punch is enough to take down an elite monster; even ordinary commander-level pets dare not confront it head-on.
But Lu Yu was not afraid at all, because the little spider was good at spatial abilities, so there was no need to fight it head-on. Including the little hamster that could attack the soul's external accessory, it might not be without a fighting chance!
If you can catch it, it would be a good option whether as a third pet or to make a super-level skill food.
Lu Yu wasn't blinded by the surprise and quickly realized something was wrong, because although the news happened three days ago, it hadn't spread.
He was self-aware enough to know that although he had spent a million, it was nothing to the Dark Moon Merchant Guild, which made a fortune every day. Even the saleswoman in front of him would only earn a few thousand yuan in commission, so there was no need for her to reveal such precious information about the ancient species.
Even if it's not insider information from the Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't it be better for her to take it and sell it for money?
Lu Yu asked doubtfully, "Is it alright for you to tell me such important news like this?"
When asked this question, the sales assistant tilted her head, lightly tapped her head with her fist, and playfully stuck out her tongue, trying to get away with it in a cute way.
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention, the information about the location of the Wild Force Ants will be sold on the black market tonight at midnight. It just so happens that the adventurer entrusted our Dark Moon Merchant Guild to handle it. It's 50,000 per copy. If you mention my name when you buy it, you can get a 5% discount. By the way, my name is Huang Tiantian!"
Good heavens, so they've been openly selling information, operating in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and even taking a cut from me twice.
I just managed to steal the Soul-Stealing Demon Cloud, and now someone else has stolen it from me!
Those who try to take advantage of others will eventually get taken advantage of!
Even the philanthropist Lu had a day when he suddenly received a windfall of gold coins.
"This woman is definitely on a commission basis. She sensed my interest, subtly brought up the topic, and then took the opportunity to sell me information..."
Lu Yu's lips twitched slightly, but he wasn't angry. After all, it was her skill to earn a commission, and it didn't harm his interests. She even got the information she wanted and got a discount along the way.
On the contrary, he admires people who are obsessed with making money, because in his previous life he also worked hard to make money so that he could live the life he wanted.
Those who love life will receive its gifts!
The black market Huang Tiantian mentioned was a secret market located not far outside the east of the city, which only opened at midnight and closed at dawn.
Because it is secluded enough and not within the city limits, there is no need to worry about being instantly killed by the Starry Sky Beast Tower. Some beast tamers from the chaotic faction will trade for the supplies they need here, and even some members of the evil god cult will come here in disguise.
Therefore, rare and special materials, dark props, the inheritance of certain schools of thought, and even ancient books containing mysterious powers often appear in them. However, the prerequisite is that you can distinguish between the real and the fake, otherwise you will be ripped off.
Since the Dark Moon Merchant Guild participates in the black market and can openly admit it, it means that the other major merchant guilds and even the Special Department are also involved; otherwise, they would have reported it long ago.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Such transactions can't be prohibited. It's better to guide than to block. Why not join in and get a share of the profits? While earning funds, it would be easier to prohibit the buying and selling of people. You could even follow the trail and wipe out some evil cults that have completely lost their humanity.
Otherwise, where do you think the Special Division gets so much intelligence?
Even a beast tamer with a prophetic skill could not predict so much information, no matter how reckless they were.
As for the dark side, although they knew it was a trap, there was nothing they could do. Everyone needed to eat, and they had to boost their own evil god's performance, support a bunch of people, and so on, all of which required a lot of resources.
The only city on the border with the largest and most abundant resources is Daeyu City, which has no choice but to accept the seller's market.
In addition, the special department deliberately plays the long game, only occasionally picking a few to fleece, taking advantage of people's wishful thinking that they might not be the ones to suffer, so they grit their teeth and go through with it.
Lu Yu definitely has to go to the black market.
Even though there will definitely be many competitors after this intelligence is sold, he is not worried.
Even if the large adventure groups with most of the Morning Star-level Beastmasters are at the border and it will take time for them to get back, it doesn't matter if some big shots get involved.
At worst, I'll just be the sixth one and let others pave the way. I'll take what I can from the Wild Power Ants, and if I can't, so be it.
As the creator of the secret food, his potential is limitless as long as he lives. But he has to go, after all, the Desolate Ant Tomb Desert is vast, and what if he finds something he shouldn't? However, before that, there's a problem...
He's out of money again!
The message costs 50,000 each. In addition, there's the possibility of finding bargains on the black market, and to avoid wasting the [Key of the Gate]'s abilities, we also need to see if we can buy some beginner-level inheritances of secret arts and magic potions. It will cost at least 100,000.
The money for the little hamster is unusable and completely insufficient. Today's task quota is almost at its limit, so we can't engage in fraudulent activities; we can only rely on new sources.
The fastest way to make money is naturally by selling the evolution paths of beast tamers, but Lu Yu doesn't want to do that unless absolutely necessary.
Red Moon Dream was able to bring things out of the Succubus's Nest, indicating a distinguished family background. It's unlikely that she would harbor malicious intentions for an evolutionary path, so the Death Eye Tyrant path can be explained by her father's relics.
Moreover, it's not just about repaying favors, but also about demonstrating value, gaining the right to have an equal dialogue with Lilith, trading more knowledge and resources, and building this connection.
However, not everyone possesses the resources of the Crimson Moon family. To avoid trouble, it's best to only sell low-level pets.
However, ordinary evolution paths are not valuable. There are more cost-effective alternative pets to choose from. To make money, you have to sell at least several types at once. Slightly better paths that improve potential are more expensive, but they are more likely to cause a sensation.
If it's discovered, I won't be able to explain it as an artifact anymore; otherwise, this notebook would become a secret treasure: the "Complete Guide to Pet Evolution."
It's even more dangerous now!
Therefore, I can only admit that it was my own research!
However, if a pet beast tactics genius suddenly produces the results of a researcher, it will definitely attract a lot of attention and exploration, and may even arouse the greed of some people.
He dislikes trouble and prefers to develop his career discreetly.
However, if there were an auction for top-tier skill materials, Lu Yu would decisively sell his knowledge for money to buy the items and improve his strength. As for the reason...
He's got the ability, what's the point of explaining?
Mind your own business when it comes to geniuses.
If he can become king, others will have to look at his attitude.
But not now, so Lu Yu prepared to try a second, safer way to make money, and asked:
"Do you buy extraordinary items made by pets here?"
"Of course I'll accept it." Huang Tiantian nodded, then asked curiously, "What kind of material is it?"
Without wasting any words, Lu Yu took out a ball of crystal-clear, snow-white spider silk, which was the silk produced by the little spider's mastery-level skill.
"Insect silk? No, it looks like spider silk!" Huang Tiantian touched it and was somewhat surprised. It was smooth and silky, no less than the finest silk, and its toughness was not low.
Although I don't know what pet company it comes from, it's definitely a good product!
"I need to find an appraiser, is that alright?" After receiving Lu Yu's consent, Huang Tiantian took out her phone and sent a message to the work group.
A few minutes later, a man dressed in a black uniform, wearing white gloves, and with his hair neatly combed came downstairs and introduced himself as the third appraiser of the Dark Moon Merchant Guild's Da Yuan City branch.
After a series of inspections, even his meticulous face showed a look of shock. He exclaimed, "It's been a long time since I've seen such high-quality spider silk. It's not only tough but also incredibly elastic, perfectly conforming to the skin. Its defensive effect is no less than that of ordinary extraordinary armor. It must come from a top-tier spider pet..."
Lu Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this, it seemed like he could get a good price!
Just as he was filled with anticipation, he heard the appraiser excitedly say:
"This spider silk is simply top-grade material for making stockings. If you'd like, sir, I can represent the Dark Moon Merchant Guild and purchase it for 100,000 yuan per kilogram!"
Stockings!
My little spider, a powerful pet cub with mastery of spider silk, not only did it not make a golden or silver silk armor, but it actually used it to make stockings.
It's still the white stockings for the female beast tamers!
How many strips can be made from this pound, and how much money can be made from it, without giving me any... no, this is an insult to my dignity as a beast tamer.
That's absolutely outrageous!
Even if I die of thirst or hunger, or jump off a building, I won't...
「叮，您尾号2767的储蓄卡6月24日20时17分收入110000元，活期余额133791元。[联盟御兽银行]」
Hmm... I paid more!
Really fragrant!
Thank you to the sheep who fell in the rain for the 500 Qidian coins.
